Booooom!!

Carter Whitt from Wake Forest has tons of potential and fits our current roster perfectly!

We've got 13 scholarship players now, let's go win the championship :!: :!:

Whitt went to Leesville Road HS which is also Alex Hunter's HS . He had almost 30 reported offers in HS. That includes 6 from ACC schools, 5 from the Big Ten, and 6 from the SEC. That includes Virginia, Virginia Tech, Clemson, N.C.State, Florida, Tennessee, Alabama, Michigan,Indiana, and Ohio State.
He graduated early from HS and went from playing HS ball to playing college. Whitt started 10 games as a freshman but saw his playing time cut in half this year. People rave about his court vision and passing.

Interesting pick-up. His numbers at Wake were . . . not great, though he did have high assist and defensive rebounding rates. Of course the Paladins wouldn't have brought him on unless they had confidence in his future development.

Between his early graduation and CoVID exemption it's a little unclear ... just how many years of eligibility does he have left?
